Hello, today is March 2, 2009 which is the first work day of the month unless you live on the east coast which I do. Then it is just a snow day. Neither really matter to me since for the last 9.5 months I have had the same job looking for one. When I first lost my job or had it eliminted in May I had high hopes of finding a new one within weeks. A trip to my local DOL One stop employment center told me that it would be months, but I was going to be the exception to the rule.
Many interviews and "so you do not have a job" support group meetings later I am still out there. The thing of it is that many other people have joined me since I have undertake this journey, like 2 million have joined me. Which makes it harder. Tomorrow I will find out if I have run out of unemployment benefits. I did not want to do it today seeing as it is a snow day and I could not call to find out if there was a mistake. I think there was an extentsion but I am not sure that I get it. I also get to find out if I get the COBRA bail out that some people are getting. If not I will see more of my savings disappear.
Well since I am depressing myself not something that you should do when you are unemployeed, staying positive is VERY important, I will end it here and give up an update on where I stand tomorrow. Tomorrow I will talk the new version of it is not you it is us.
